First, I hope the ammending of this thread's subject line is as obviously useful to everyone else as it is for me.
I deliberately threw out a light and humourous challenge for someone to come back on this and Chris has duely obliged. Thanks Chris, you post a lot of useful messages. .MP4b seems to me a good alternative tostraight .mp3 files simply because all the data is in the one file and you don't have to split up into endless .mp3s. For those listening to books on IPods then it seems a natural format to use. I don't know what other hardware devices will support it, but I'm now going to suggest on the UK Victor Stream list that we ask for MP4b support which I'm sure isn't there at the moment. Thanks again, Ray Christopher Chaltain wrote: Wow, I didn't find a lot on MP4B, but I did locate iPod Audio Book Converter at http://www.sjhaley.com/ipodabc/. Looks like an interesting format and an interesting application. It'll create MP4B audio books from other sources, such as MP3, WAV and so on. I found out more about the MP4B format and how to play it with iTunes and iPods at http://www.iplaybackaaj.com/faq_mp4. -- Christopher chalt...@gmail.com -----Original Message----- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Ray Sent: Wednesday, September 30, 2009 2:50 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: RE: MP4 files All interesting Chris, butwonder if anyone actually knows about .mp4b files which is a book format? Not just playing them; creating them? Hahaha, bet no one comes back on that. Ray.

You can find out more about MP4 files from any one of the file extension sites, but the URL http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/how_to_play_mp4_files.cfm seems to have the most information on how to play and convert MP4 files. -- Christopher chalt...@gmail.com -----Original Message----- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of tim Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 2:04 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: MP4 files hi there. you can use goldwave, or xilisofts audio converter. think vu player will convert them as well and its free.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Reese" <re...@shilohstravel.com> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 13:32 Subject: MP4 files > Hi list: > > I currently have some MP4 files that was taken with a flip cam corder. > What > program will play them or do I need to convert them to another video > file for mat?
